Thanks BK. I consider that an honor coming from you. I wish to one day create something as nice as your work. Which tikis were you asking about? We use different methods for different size props. The ones on my home page are rigid carved foam with plastic hard coat... then air brushed. Some of the big ones are essentially large, fiberglass shells....hallow with wood frame... made for easy/tough transport

Swanky, thanks for the advice. Regarding liquor license, the way it works here... You need lease and insurance to apply for liquor license/LL. Many landlords will grant temp lease and insurance company will give temp insurance based on $0 sales (very cheap then)... then you apply. If you dont get LL, you are not out much and do not have a lease around your neck. You loose a couple hundered in temp ins and a few thousand for couple months rent. Unfortuately, the landlord I am working with will not give temp lease, and I can not pass up the deal.

I have followed your post about your project for some time. If you want, I will send you my BP. I spent a good year on it. As I made the plan, everything evolved into what the plan is now. Big changes from start to current. Definitely downsized a TON as I learned more about the industry. Making this BP was probably the most important thing I did in this project...invaluable. Know each and every penny to start up and then to operate. And I agree, have good exit!
Thanks!!!
